New Home Screen and TS20 support

Leica Captivate v10 introduces two key updates that shape how users interact with the software: a redesigned home screen and support for the new Leica TS20.

The home screen layout has been updated to make it easier to access jobs, apps, and settings. The improved job organisation and simpler app selection help structure daily work more clearly from the moment Captivate is started.

The Leica TS20 defines the next generation of robotic total stations, with AI-powered automation that is fully integrated into Captivate v10. AI-Detect is one example of this; it automatically recognises the target type being measured and checks it against the current settings to help avoid target selection errors.

Enhancements to Snapping, Line Handling, COGO, and more

Captivate v10 features improvements that support day-to-day work, such as snapping to IFC surfaces and edges for quicker data selection, especially when combined with the new button for the map context menu, providing quick access to tools and apps.

Line handling is improved by adding dimensional input for measuring circles and rectangles, along with quick access tools to allow extending of lines directly in the Measure app, and instant creation of offset lines from the 3D Viewer.

COGO computations are enhanced to utilise our split-screen layout, enabling adjustments to computations and the review of results before storage.

Further v10 improvements include integrating NTRIP caster settings into GS base mode, numerous enhancements to the Tunnel app, NMEA message extensions for tilt information, and better integrated links to GeoCloud Drive.

Leica Captivate version 9.00


New Hardware & SmartPole Extensions

Leica Captivate v9.0 ensures the support of our latest hardware, such as the small and light tilt enabled Leica GS05 SmartAntenna, the recently introduced CC180 and CC200 tablets, and the GKP100 Captivate Keypad. Inspired by these, v9.0 also includes several software changes, including enhancements to SmartPole.

SmartPole setups are now easier than ever, as a single button press triggers both the GS & TS measurements, and a new GS Search function has been introduced to enable the total station to turn directly to the GNSS position, allowing the prism to be found much quicker.

GeoCloud Drive Improvements, Snapping Enhancements and more

With Captivate v9.0, the process to upload your data to our cloud service, GeoCloud Drive, has improved so that exported data and entire jobs, can now be uploaded in just a few clicks.

Also in v9.0, the Snapping to CAD/IFC entities functionality from version 8.50, has been enhanced to support finding the center of more shapes, and allowing snapping within apps such as Stake points and COGO.

Further v9.0 improvements include the ability to set a GS Base as an NTRIP caster, via the webserver, and the ability to switch between some of our apps without interrupting continuous TS measurements or AP20 tilt initialization.

Leica Captivate version 8.50


Regional Configuration Tool: Allowing direct access to regionally important configuration objects and files

Leica Captivate v8.10 introduced support for the new cloud service, HxGN GeoCloud Drive, with v8.50, Captivate further harnesses the power of this service, delivering free online access to locally relevant content, through a new regional Configuration Tool.

Worldwide, Leica representatives publish a range of local content, including coordinate systems, style sheets, and sample data. The new tool facilitates users from any locale to select their country of interest, view the relevant regional content, and download according to need.
